Grilled Chicken

A few weeks ago we were barbecuing hamburgers and hot dogs when I got this really off the wall idea to get him to cook my two chicken breast halves for lunch later. Now, if I haven't said it before - he hates chicken. This time however, he comes back in with the chicken and tell's me that if I tried the chicken I would want to eat it not, the hamburgers.??? What? You liked this?? Well, of course I had to sample my chicken, he was right!
Last time however he was paying more attention than this time, and this time he burned it - yuck. But it is worth a try if you can keep the black stuff off... Grin.

Grilled Chicken Breasts
Serves: 4

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
8 tablespoons olive oil
1 package all good Italian dressing seasoning mix
8 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
black pepper, to taste

Rinse the chicken breast. Flatten with the flat side of a meat mallet.

Dry chicken breasts and rub with 1 tablespoon oil per side. Pepper to taste on each side. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon salt on each side. Then divide the dressing mix per each side of chicken. Place the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Grill over hot, direct heat, for about 15-20 minutes per side, or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F.

Enjoy.

Grilled Hamburgers and Hot Dogs.

This is an interesting feat every time. He's not used to using wood, he's always used charcoal. Given my choice I'd use wood every time. So guess who gets to start the grill and get it ready>>> Imagine that! A guy who doesn't know how to start a wood fire grill. I keep telling him it isn't much different than using charcoal, but he hasn't tried starting it yet. After the grill is ready he does the rest though. [I'll get him taught eventually though. LOL.]

The hamburger patties are the same jane old patties that he makes indoors. But as they are finishing on the grill, he places mushrooms on the top, lets them heat through and then places a slice of cheddar cheese on top of that. once that melts he takes them off the grill. This is delicious.

Salad

Salad is pretty simple and straight forward. Pretty much lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and anything else you'd like to add on your salad. This is a pretty big salad, huge might even be the word. Yes, at this size it's a meal all by itself. Sometimes on a given day it's all we want. Ah, delicious, good ol' salad. [Yes, my nick name could be buggs bunny. Love rabbit food.]
